What Happens Next for Thunder and Pacers?

The Thunder pulled off a Game 7 victory to win the NBA Finals, but their future could be even more exciting. FOS writer Colin Salao joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to discuss the OKC model that the rest of the league should be trying to emulate.

On the other side, the Pacers face difficult decisions in the wake of Tyrese Haliburton’s torn Achilles. With basketball fever rampant in Indiana behind the success of the Pacers and Fever, FOS reporter Alex Schiffer says the joint team ownership should do whatever it takes to keep the momentum going.

Plus, Kevin Durant has been traded from the Suns, but this is just the start of what could be a long offseason for Mat Ishbia’s club. Suns reporter Duane Rankin discusses what’s still to come.
